Now Sir Clive looks to have been an interesting chap! I do remember going to a big house in 1969 or 70 somewhere down that way, because someone had told me I could get some machining done - a gearbox repair if I remember correctly on the very rare 6-speed box fitted to my ex-Inchley AJS 250. A colourful chap answered the door, dressed in bright shirt and baggy shorts - looked much like the estate gardener - took me through into a superb workshop with every machine tool known to man, and promptly fashioned the part required, hardened it and sent me on my way. He never gave his name, but was fairly obviously the boss of the house. Oh how I wish my memory worked!
Could it have been Milntown, and Sir Clive?
